WHONET 2026, version 26.3.26, is a free Windows application released by Brigham and Women's Hospital and developed within the WHO Collaborating Centre for Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance. Classified under Medical & Health Sciences software, the program is designed for the structured management, quality control, and epidemiological analysis of microbiology laboratory data, with a central emphasis on tracking antimicrobial resistance. Laboratories use it to store isolate records, apply standardized interpretive breakpoints, generate resistance trend reports, and prepare datasets compliant with the WHO GLASS (Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System) data-exchange format. The package supports CLSI 2026 standards M100, M45, M60, M61 and the corresponding EUCAST 2026 bacterial breakpoints, while also incorporating recent CLSI veterinary guidelines VET01, VET03/04, and VET06, enabling simultaneous human and animal-health surveillance within a single workspace. Localized into 45 languages, WHONET underpins surveillance networks that range from individual hospitals to national programs, currently serving more than 2,300 clinical, public-health, animal-health, and food-safety laboratories across over 130 countries. WHONET 2026 is the fifth major iteration of the code base, modernizing the earlier WHONET 5.6 architecture with enhanced data-export utilities, improved language packs, and updated reference tables that align with contemporary diagnostic practices. Users can import results from common laboratory information systems, apply expert rule sets to flag suspicious patterns, and export cleaned data sets for submission to regional or global repositories, thereby fostering harmonized resistance monitoring and evidence-guided antimicrobial stewardship. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
